O Flower of Jesse’s stem,you have been raised up as a sign for all peoples;kings stand silent in your presence;the nations bow down in worship before you.Come, let nothing keep you from coming to our aid.

O Key of David, O royal Power of Israel,controlling at your will the gate of heaven:Come, break down the prison walls of deathfor those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death;and lead your captive people into freedom.
